I read somewhere an interview of some person who had close relations to VV at one time...they said he didn't want fans touching him at all; and was paranoid that he could be attacked by supposed 'fan(s)'.

What got me going was in the interview, the person said once VV had fallen asleep in the bus/car while on their way to next destination. His wig turned sideways and they were making fun. He was unhappy when he found out.
